Am i missing something?? The mountpoint has to permit write operations if you're trying to write to the root of the volume. So unmount the volume, make sure the /home/office directory has the appropriate permissions, then mount the volume. Note also that vfat volumes themselves do not have the concept of permissions or ownership of files. > > On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 3:42 AM, JD<jd1008@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> On 10/23/2010 10:22 AM, sumatheja wrote: >>> Hi All, >>> I have made a partition in my hard disk and mounted it to >>> /media/xyz.
